Levers showed up today. Thanks again John.

 

Glad I was able to help, hope they get him back on the road! Cheers!

 

You'll see a huge improvement over stock with the D&D and a tune. I wish I had got the Low Cats like yours. I scrape all the time. I have have even tried leaning off the bike like a sport rider too keep from scraping.

 

Will do brother. Im in South Carolina this week. Will hit you up when i return.

 

Boost I actually scraped mine the first week I had it on. It met the pavement right at the second bend of the lower header pipe before the merge. I did it beating a light at an intersection.

As for the tune, the bike had the download when I bought it, it had short shots and the SE race tuner. After putting on the D&D, it had a bad lag at lower rpm's and had lots of decel pop. They hooked it up and changed the A/F ratio a bit to get rid of it. Now I think it's running lean since I notice the decel pop is gone, it still lags a little bit in first gear but I notice the engine is running hotter than before. They said it needs to be dyno'd to really get it where it needs to be.

 

Jake: Where do you bring your bike for service? I bring mine to Buffalo H-D and they dyno tune whenever they do that sort of stuff.

Just heard from LePera, my seat is done and in the mail. Having some other little things done as well, can't wait for Daytona!!!!!!!!!!

 

I guess the D&Ds love ground clearance. Or maybe a little less aggressive driving. Sounds like neither is an option...

Mine had the short shots too before the fat cats. Had to lower the AFR to 12.1 between 1500 and 3000 in the closed throttle position to get rid of the decel pop. A good tuner is your best friend

 

Jim: for the major stuff (95" kit) I went to Gowanda HD since that's where I bought it and the head service guy is great to work with. The guy who does the tuning there rode it, adjusted the map, then rode it again and then made a few more adjustment, within acceptable tolerances of the stock map. Only charged me $35. He'll do the full dyno for $250 and get it perfect. Lots of guys I've talked to said he's really good and backs up his work. The bike hauls *** as it is now, I can't wait for a full tune to be done on it!

For minor stuff like tire changing I go to an Indy in Cuba. I can handle the basic maintenance.

 

Thanks, Jake. When you did the 95, did you put the D&D on at the same time? If not, what was the difference in before/after with the 95, and then with the 95 and D&D?

 

Jim I did the 95 last spring and then the D&D went on towards the end of summer. So going from the 88 with the short shots to the 95" with the short shots, I noticed a decent improvement in power. It def got up to speed faster and had more power down low.

After putting the D&D on, I noticed that power was gained throughout the rpm range instead of hitting a plateau like with the short shots. They must have been too open and the loss of back pressure caused this. I was able to accelerate more through each gear before needing to shift.

Not sure what it all did for top speed but it made a noticeable difference in the time getting to speed. I wish I had the dyno done before and after to compare it all but it ran fine before so it wasn't needed

I'll be sure to post up the numbers when it happens
